DLC Exhibition:
• This is a DLC weapon showcase video, so I will refrain from using (Air) Musou and (True) Rage Musou for offense. There are no 6-star or alternative 5-star DLC weapons on console for the western release.

Analysis:
• Revolving Crossbow is super fun, super goofy, but is also super good. Almost too good. Everything about this weapon screams unfair. Despite it being a gargantuan weapon, it swings rather fast and wide, has exceptional combo refilling rate, while boasting incredible physical damage through Spin-C1, and topping it off with some of the most insane and flexible elemental attacks.

• To showcase setup variety, the weapon setup is built with two different setup. The stronger 5-star weapon is Pure Physical with the same setup as Guo Huai's weapon and the weaker 4-star weapon is a Hybrid Elemental setup with Induction + Explosive attached to it.

• On charge attack C1, the Revolving Crossbow has a "Spin" mechanic to it just like Guan Yinping's EX weapon. By spinning the left stick during C1, it will activate an alternative charge attack animation (Spin-C1). Charge attacks C3... and C6... has a tap mechanic where the more △ inputs there are (full tap △; charge attack button), the more bullets it shoots (notated with "..." to indicate tap). C3... has a built-in projectile auto-block when strafing.

Movesets:
• Spin-C1* is reminiscent to Guo Huai's C6, but with better range. It is noticeably "weaker" compared to Guo Huai's C6, but seriously though, it is by no means "weak" as it can still OHKO super playable officers in late game stages with Rage Spin-C1 (10:23, 11:10). As an added bonus, Spin-C1 has an insane combo refill rate (2:20). Spin-C1 might need some time of getting use to as spinning the left stick before the weapon is set down will mess with the weapon angle.

Edit: Spin-C1 contains 5 elemental activation.

• C4 is one of those charge attacks that contains full elements that can OHKO (overkill) officers. Unlike most charge attacks that lunges or shoots forward in a single direction, C4 is very flexible to use as it can be spun around for free aim, allowing for more control for multiple KOs, etc. (10:08).

• C6... (full tap △) is a one-of-a-kind charge attack. Similar to C4, C6... contains full elements. It propels itself so high(?) that for some unknown reason, enemies, including officers become non-hostile during the middle of its animations (but not on its initial jumping or landing animations). Because of that, C6... feels semi-invulnerable, making it a safer charge attack than it really seems. The other property that come with C6... is its ability to terrorize enemies while moving around at high speed (with hilarious kill cam angles). Since the character visually disappears, the trick/visual cue (that I use) is to utilize the mini-map to know which direction the character is facing and where to travel.

• Normal Strings S5 from this weapon is very usable, hence Induction + Explosive being an option on the weapon. Normal Strings are still damaging despite it being on a 4-star weapon with no Frenzy.

• Switch Attack (SA) is very good on this weapon. The invincibility frames are usable, albeit a bit short. SA is very responsive as it can cancel its charge attacks whenever it wants. SA can also be spun around and spammed because of its quick recovery.

Option(s):
• Morass is not mandatory on Weapon 1, but it is nice to aid its start up and SA multi-hit. Morass can be replaced with Cyclone, Slash, Aggression or Roar. Cyclone is nice for double element offense against electrified officers since super officers can be easily taken care of by either weapon setup. Both Cyclone and/or Slash is good for Spin-C1 as well because it does contain 5 element activation. Aggression is nice if the character using it has a damaging Musou. Since Spin-C1 provides ridiculous fill, Roar is the least recommended unless the character uses (True) Rage Musou, in which case, would want Roar for sustain.

• Depending on who the weapon is on, Accuracy can be replaced with Musou Springs or Havoc.
